Feeling Fallish

I know, I know, it's still July, but a girl can dream, can't she? It's been so hot and humid and I {along with many more of you I'm sure} am ready for the crisp, clear air that fall brings. I'm trying to walk several days a week and although I am up to 3.5 miles, it will be so much easier when it cools off.

I'll be joining the TDIPT Mercantile again on August 1st and have some autumn inspired folk art pieces to be offered then. I have a long list of things to make for fall decor and thankfully working on fall things takes my mind off the hot weather. For now, I'm giving you a little peek of just a few items...

There is something about that pin cushion in your header photo that makes my heart sigh... you know what I mean the soft, well-loved feel of usefulness that has withstood the passage of time.Hot here too but those jars for pickles are waiting to be filled.Enjoy your special day!Susan x

I designed these book page wings in 2009 after hearing my daughter talk of angel wings for a Christmas play. You may read more by clicking on the photo.

I began designing these in 2008 and sold them in my Honeysuckle Lane Etsy shop. Paper designs sort of took over my creative life and I opened a second shop, Simple Joys Paperie. You may see more in the sold section of my Simple Joys Paperie Etsy shop. Just click on the photo.
